mrapocalypse - June 23rd, 2005 at 11:59 AM

Gidday,

I work for Guinness World records.

I need 2 teams of three to compete on tv to take the engine out of 1 beetle and stick in another in under 1 minute 30 seconds.

Also need 4 cars to do this record.

Tell your friends.

Call me, Ian at Granada Productions on 0283532576

Ian,

I dont doubt that you have come to the right place to find the sort of fanatics and experienced vw people that will attempt this.

If you let people know where in this big round brown land you are, that might help, as there are a few sort of clusters of dedicated people (ie Sydney, Melb, Brisbane, Newcastle etc) where you might have better luck than others.

Cheers
